What I also find strange, is that the XferLOG seems to be garbled with what
looks like multiples processes overwriting each other and truncated lines,
Just a shot in the dark: are you accidentally running more than one
BackupPC process or something like that? Again, that shouldn't happen.

Ruminating a bit more, I have sometimes seen this when rsync-bpc has
been doing a *lot* of logging.
With rsync Xfers, of three possible processes, usually at any one time
two are running, both of which may be logging concurrently to the same
file. The three processes are known as the generator, the sender and
the receiver. I suspect that sometimes log messages are sent to the
buffered fd, pipe or whatever without an immediately following buffer
'flush' in the code. If two processes are doing the same thing, this
will often have the effect that you describe. It doesn't necessarily
mean that there's anything more undesirable than that going on.
